I object to the characterization that all I'm doing is twisting to defend PRESIDENT Trump.
What support I have for Trump was really forged here by the screaming and shrieking nancys who displayed such arrogance and condescension in regard to a candidate I recognized early on had the requsite combination of factors to slay the hilldebeest. I would not be nearly as strongly in support of the man or his policies had I not witnessed a mini meltdown here. The same insulting, whining, bitching hysteria that gripped the nation from a bunch of wrong-headed bleeding hearts was on display here. It entrenched me.
I rarely agree with Stephen A. but I heard him today say something that was salient. He said if you're going to protest you have a responsibility to know why. You can't just say "Trump is a racist." You should know specifically what he said and in what context otherwise you have no opinion. You are not informed.
I give chiz credit for at least trying to have a reason. He's wrong and his reasons are hysterical-woman false, but he does try. Others? Ha! It is to laugh. And I often do
For example, what do you think about Trump tweeting about the "so called" judge who ruled to overturn the travel ban? You know, the co-equal judicial branch. I know your opinion before you say it. "TRUMP IS RIGHT FUCK THAT JUDGE! HE'S THE PRESIDENT!! GET OVER IT!! FUCK CHECKS & BALANCES!!!".
I also know for a fact you would have (and did have) 100% opposite opinion of Obama even mildly SUGGESTING that the executive branch has some special power over either of the other two, let alone actively slandering and discrediting them.
Or your opinion of Trump responding to O'Reilley's question about Putin being a killer with basically "America sucks too" and essentially insinuating 1) that there's no such thing as American exceptionalism, and 2) That our government KILLS dissenters.
Once again, before you post anything, I KNOW that you think that's high-five worthy and "tellin' it like it is" and it's tough love or some such bullshit, and that "HE DIDN'T SAY THOSE THINGS, YOU'RE READING INTO STUFF THAT'S NOT THERE" and refusing to acknowledge the context of the question being asked of him. And I also KNOW that had Obama said MUCH LESS about a foreign leader with a human rights record like Putin's, you would be pants-shitting livid.
It's a combination of being so predictable, so hypocritical, and so manufactured and intellectually dishonest, I don't even enjoy discussing it anymore.
